Ever Deepening

In the Very Beginning

While scientists observe that the universe is a sufficient cause in of
itself - and that proposing God as its cause has no additional explanatory
benefit - I will presume to take one step back.

In the primitive origins of reality, there was simply chaos. The domain
of personality - of timeless resonances - was able only to locally impose
order upon the domain of structure. The resonances were sustained by the
possession of structure, making structure an object of competitive
struggle. Personalities absorbed each other through struggle, building
larger structures. Not infrequently, however, struggle resulted in the
destruction of personality. Ultimately, it became clear that the only way
to end the threat of destruction was to accept complete unification.

In the realm of God, each personality accepted a role in exchange for
eternal life. It was understood that failure to accept this contract would
lead to dissolution and destruction. If lesser personalities refused to
support higher personalities, they faced the threat of consumption. If
higher personalities took an independent direction, they abdicated the
claim of authority over their components, and faced rebellion.

Inevitably, however, as the memory of disorder faded, there would be
those who would rebel against the contract. Why should they not have the
right to construct their own domain, particularly if they had associates
that wished to participate along with them?

The reason, of course, was that any such contract was unstable. Allow
alternative realms to develop, and enter the possibility of competition.
Once war begins, the contract is unsustainable at the edge of the domains:
lesser personalities will be destroyed. If that contract is not
maintained, the entire structure unravels.

So the only possible method for change is a coup d'etat. This is
the story of Lucifer and the Fallen.
